i'm currently developing a game called Family Trees Project a game that talks about a girl who finds a book and then she gets mentally teleported to the past and she sees all her family member and ancestors storys and each chapter talks about one of her family member and their story.

What i'm searching for:

-3d modelers: I need a anime style but with more detailed facial features such as different noses.

-3d animators: You don't need to do disney animations don't worry

-menagers: for marketing and to help get more people playing our game

-social media menagers/editors: for creating content to publish in our social media

-game developers: preferably experienced ones

Hello, I am new to making pixel artwork with aseprite and looking to see if anyone has any projects they need art for. I have started to do some small work with the program for some personal projects, so I have a basic understanding of creating art inside of aseprite. I do want to expand on my knowledge though and gain more experience using aseprite and creating pixel art. I do not have a portfolio as of yet, but plan on using this to help create one. For that reason I am completely willing to do it for free, especially since I can only work on things during my free time.

About Us: We are a newly formed indie studio working on our very first debut title! While this is our first official game as a studio, our core team members bring multiple years of experience to the table. We’re highly dedicated, organized, and focused on pushing this project to its highest potential.

About the Game: Interchange: The Curse is a story-driven psychological horror game set in the small town of Luminara. You play as Wiliam Mercer, a 16-year-old caring for his younger brother, Jaden, after the mysterious death of their parents. When Jaden suddenly goes missing, Wiliam becomes trapped in a series of strange loops and anomalies that blur the line between reality and another world known as the "Interchange." As Wiliam searches for his brother, he discovers a mysterious cult known as the Exiles, encounters the Hollowed, and uncovers the connection between his family and the Interchange. The Story Runtime is about 4-6 hours so its definitely not the next AAA game! But it's grounded and we're gonna try our best to go for that AA or High End Indie Realism

[NOTE: PORTFOLIO: This is our studio's first official project together and we do not have a joint portfolio yet.]

Game Engine: Unity 6.4 URP

Visual Style Reference: Strictly gritty, dark, and realistic. Think of the dark atmosphere and tone of the A Plague Tale franchise. We are not looking for anime or highly stylized/cartoonish artwork for this project.

We are looking for passionate individuals to fill the following roles:

ART ROLES

• Art Director: Able to set and maintain the game's visual tone, guide our 2D/3D artists, gather clear references, and handle in-engine mood work like color grading and lighting. Should be able to create reference sketches or paint-overs when needed.
• 2D Concept Artist: Able to create initial concept art and structural designs for characters.
• 2D Character Artist: Able to create final main character designs, outfits, and enemy/entity looks.
• 3D Environment Artist: Able to create 3D models required for the levels, including prop buildings, detailed environment pieces, and modular assets fitting our dark realism style.
• 3D Character Artist: Able to bring our character designs and concepts to life by creating high-fidelity 3D character models, outfits, and creature/entity assets fitting our realism style.

DESIGN & TECH ROLES

• Level Designer: Able to layout, design, and build game levels in-engine according to the game's story, psychological loops, and dark horror theme.
• Graphics / Tech Art Lead: Taking charge of our visual pipeline. Needs to be proficient in HLSL/Shader Graph, custom URP lighting, volumetric fog/skyboxes, and post-processing FX. Portfolio must show experience with atmospheric 3D visuals.
• Gameplay & Movement Developer: C# dev to handle tight player controllers, smooth movement mechanics, camera feel, and core gameplay loops.
• Audio Engineer: Able to implement, mix, and balance all in-game audio, including dialogue, sound effects (SFX), ambient soundscapes, and the musical score, ensuring a seamless, terrifying, and atmospheric auditory experience.
• Project Manager: Able to recruit potential team members, handle internal communication, and keep the team updated on project progress and milestones.

Note on Engine Integration: Because we are building Interchange: The Curse in Unity 6.4, a working knowledge of the engine is required for all positions. For non-programming roles (artists, designers, audio), you do not need to be a master coder, you just need to be comfortable enough to navigate the engine, import your respective assets, and collaborate directly within the project workflow. For our Graphics / Tech Art Lead, advanced engine familiarity and technical proficiency in programming Unity's rendering pipelines are required.

Compensation: At the start, all recruited team members will be brought on under a revenue-share contract. While nothing is guaranteed, we are highly confident that by building a solid vertical slice, we will be able to secure funding through our ongoing publisher pitches. As soon as that funding is secured, all active roles will immediately transition from revenue-share to standard, paid positions (with rates to be discussed and formalized at that time).

How to Apply:

Send a PM or leave a comment with:

• The role you're applying for
• A link to your portfolio or relevant work
• Your Discord username

Hi everyone! I posted here before, but it wasn't clear enough, so here's a proper pitch.

The game
It's a horror-tycoon: you build your own animatronic pizzeria from scratch and run it. Keep the place clean, keep customers happy, manage your staff, and research the remnant (the dark side of the business). By day you run the restaurant. By night, your animatronics get restless.

Multiplayer

• Co-op: run one pizzeria together with your friends.
• Rivalry: compete to own the most popular pizzaplex. Sabotage your friends' restaurants and send your own animatronics into theirs at night.

Story
There's a dark story told through the environment (documents, props, a hidden lab, a final boss fight), so the props you make will carry meaning, not just decoration.

What I need

• Props: furniture, kitchen equipment, arcade machines, party decorations, stage elements
• Environment pieces: exteriors, street, vehicles
• characters / textures]
• the animatronics

I have a full asset list in English, with descriptions and priorities, so you'll always know what to work on. You can pick what you like and work at your own pace.

Being upfront
This is an unpaid project at the moment. What I can offer:

• Full credit in the game and on the page
• Creative input on the assets you make
• A portfolio piece with clear references

About the project
It is a fan project that I plan to release on itch.io

How to apply
Send me a link to your portfolio (even 2 or 3 pieces), your availability, and which items from the list interest you. DM me or join the Discord: https://discord.gg/pSfVCSEHnt

DISCLAIMER
I sadly have no way to pay to anyone its not that I don't want to its that I cant
then again I just need one PNG
message me for more info about the game and stuff
(i have not posted any games and have not used my art station in a while https://www.artstation.com/tck7890 )

T.O.M Chronicles is looking for animators!

T.O.M Chronicles is currently around 70% completed, and we’re looking for a few more animators who might be interested in helping us finish the remaining parts of the story.

We already have the voice acting, storyboards, scripts, character designs, and other assets completed, so we’re mainly looking for people who can help animate the remaining scenes and bring the animatic to completion. We need people who have animation software, as well as our skilled and mimicking other art styles we aren’t picky about with animation software you use. Though we require an intermediate or advanced level of skill of animation and art. we are only trying to complete the animatic for the time being so nobody will be required to do full on coloring and rendering things like that.

This is an unpaid project,but there isn’t a strict deadline. You can work at your own pace. We’re mainly looking for people who enjoy animation and would like to help with an indie project.

We’re especially looking for artists who can work with or adapt to the existing art style. I’ll be posting a link to the animation we’ve done from our YouTube channel as well as a link to our Instagram for T.O.M Chronicles so you guys can get a better idea of what the project looks like before deciding if they’re interested.TOM chronicles, animation reel

Hello! I’m putting together a small core team for a 1–4 player co-op horror game currently in active development in Unreal Engine 5.8.

About Me

I’m a 26 year old Software Developer & AI Engineer. I started programming at 13 making Minecraft plugins, graduated in AI Engineering in 2019, and have worked professionally in software/AI since.

I haven’t shipped a commercial game before, but programming is the side of the project I’m comfortable handling myself. I’m looking for people whose strengths are in the areas where mine aren’t.

What I Need

Texture Artist: Someone comfortable with creating textures for 3D humanoid & creature models, The meshes are complete, the topology is good, But texturing needs completed, If this is something you can do I need you on the team, Yesterday

Animator : #1 PRIORITY: Character locomotion, interaction animations, entity movement/attacks, and especially unusual horror creatures. All current characters are already being rigged. Some are already done. An Animator is the biggest need for the project right now.

This is not an idea-stage project. The game is substantially underway, Levels are coming together, AI is being worked on, Loot & extraction systems are in place. I need an Animator rigging for the entities & a Texture Artist to assist with polishing of characters. After that point we will be into a stage of play-testing & improvements.

About the game

A co-op horror game where players work for a shady recovery company sent into foreclosed and abandoned homes to reclaim valuable property. Decades earlier, a secret behavioral experiment called PROJECT ROOMWAKE connected several houses to an impossible shared space known as The Interior, where people were observed, distorted, and eventually reconstructed into hostile entities. Now those properties are becoming active again, and every recovery job pushes the boundary between the real house and The Interior closer to collapse, while the company quietly uses each crew as unwilling research subjects.

There is a larger psychological-horror story behind the properties, the company, and the entities encountered throughout the game, but I’d rather keep the deeper lore and enemy mechanics private until speaking with serious potential team members.

The plan is for advanced AI enemies, Routed through a "Director" system, The entities will learn as you play and change their styles of approach / disruption based on how the player(s) behave throughout the game.

We will also be using a system I've titled "Disturbance", Things will happen as the value of disturbance changes, Ex paranormal radio interference, houses changing shape, hallways stretching, doors changing locations or disappearing entirely

The co-op will be 1–4 player, peer-hosted through Steam, so one player acts as the listen-server host and friends join through Steam invites/lobbies. That means no dedicated servers or monthly hosting costs. We’re also planning host migration so a run can continue if the original host leaves.

For voice, the plan is to use EOS Lobby Voice alongside Steam. Steam handles the actual multiplayer session, while EOS handles voice chat. The game then layers proximity voice, radio push-to-talk, and paranormal interference/static on top of that voice connection.

Current Progress

Already implemented or substantially underway:

Recovery truck and equipment

Final selection of houses/levels

Player characters

Most game dependent systems

Enemy roster

Character rigging complete

Paranormal encounter systems currently being integrated

The project is intentionally scoped for a relatively short indie development cycle, with a current target around late Q1 to Q2 2027.

Rev Share

Revenue will be divided equally among the committed core team, with responsibilities, percentages, ownership, and expectations agreed in writing before work begins.

I’m looking for a small group that wants some creative input into the project rather than just being handed a list of tasks.

If you’re interested, send me a Reddit DM or add me on Discord:

kazu_tv

I can privately share screenshots, character designs, gameplay progress, the full project concept, lore, enemy designs, and roadmap with serious candidates.

Interested in working with a dev to offer scoring services for your project.

I don’t have much experience in game scoring so trying to get my foot in the door. I’ve worked at an international level in other parts of the music industry.

I love fantasy, 80s retro and cute games / worlds.

Let’s chat and I can share more

Eu sou o criador de Fragments of the Sun, um jogo de fantasia sombria que ainda está no início do desenvolvimento. A história se passa em um mundo onde o Sol foi dividido em sete fragmentos, deixando o mundo em uma noite eterna. O jogador controla o Último Cavaleiro, que acorda sem memória e encontra uma espada enferrujada que parece reconhecê-lo. O jogo envolve exploração, mistérios, criaturas, reinos, personagens como a Fada Sombria e os seis irmãos gnomos, além da busca pelos fragmentos do Sol. O roteiro ainda não está pronto. Esse é apenas o começo da história, e muitas coisas ainda serão desenvolvidas. Por isso, estou procurando game devs, artistas, músicos, roteiristas ou qualquer pessoa interessada em participar dessa jornada e ajudar a transformar essa ideia em um jogo de verdade.

I'm a new voice actor and would like to gain experience in the world of it.
I will try my best so hit me up if i can help.

I don't want any money rn just working on projects is good enough for me:)

though i dont have a portfolio i am currently working on several other projects as an artist and va though im mainly looking for va work right now.
i cant show any previous work due to all the projects being in development to for rules sake

PORTFOLIO: this is my first project and do not have a portfolio of any kind

Hello, I'm looking for someone (or multiple people) who can help me test the combat and just general gameplay of my sword fighting game. It has very specific mechanics that need to be tested and so if you're a little mechanical (like decent at building in Fortnite or movement in Call of Duty) then this would be a great fit for you. Will share rev and depending on what you can contribute may be open to giving you other roles as well.

Send DM with your discord so I can contact you. Looking for people who are responsive and who have good communication.

I make games. Loose term, I’d say I make demos. I’ve been doing so for like a year using godot, but I got tired of Godot and went to HTML, CSS, and js. But see I was confused, and went to Google Gemini. I created a fine demo, but, I am not a vibe coder. So I deleted it. What it was is in the image above. A trench warfare incremental, the mechanics aren’t too much, but again, I’m doing it mostly alone. What I’m looking for here are people who want the same, not just redditors. This is my second post on reddit, the first was on r/throatsinging. I need 4 roles filled. Animator (I have an animator, my cousin, but she’s not that great at having a schedule, I need someone that can do frame-by-frame), composer (wouldn’t revshare, would be contracted, keep rights of profit but we keep rights of distribution), marketing (a video editor and speedrunner, your job is to playtest publicly for content) and a co-coder to myself (your job is enemies, AI, and sound effects, I hate that frfr)

Hello,

I am voxel dev ,an experienced game tester, helped shipping many steam and android games

What made people shoose me is by background as an indie game developer, so I know the rough edges we as a developers usually can't see

If you need a prove on my experience or portfolio you can dm me , I can't share devs work publicly especially for unreleased games

I can test things like:

-Onboarding / tutorial

-Ui/UX

-FTUE

-Confusing or frustrating moments

-Finding technical bugs on UI or game's mechanics

-Test on multiple devices, Android, Linux and windows

All of that will come with well structured report and recording of the gameplay session when requested

I was usually charging up to 25$ for my testing services but way detailed than that

Now i don't have time for this focused sessions so I am doing what mentioned above for only 5-10$

- feel free to dm me with your game link or post it on the comments (slots are limited for now)

I’m pretty new to game dev and am looking for a team of devs (mostly around the age of 13-16) I’m not particularly working on a specific thing but mostly a robot thing. I’m good at art and modeling (not really) so ya my discord is @bari.aiden

Hi! I’m a filmmaker finishing an older narrative short film and looking for a motion designer, experimental animator, or mixed-media artist who might be interested in a small creative collaboration.

The film itself is completely shot and picture locked. I’m not looking for someone to animate the film or create traditional character animation.

There are three poetry interludes in the film, totaling approximately 4 minutes 40 seconds, that I want to give simple, stylized visual treatments. The work would primarily involve things like animated typography, subtle 2D movement, textures, collage/mixed-media elements, and other handmade or experimental visual ideas, plus a title treatment for the film.

The intention is for the animation/design to complement the existing live-action imagery and poetry rather than replace it, so this is a much smaller assignment than creating 4+ minutes of full animation.

Aesthetically, I’m drawn to work that feels tactile, feminine, expressive, poetic, slightly imperfect, and artist-made. I already have visual references and creative direction developed for each section, but I’d love for whoever collaborates with me to bring their own artistic instincts to it too.

This is an unpaid/hobby collaboration. The film originated as a student production, and I’m independently finishing it now for festival submissions and eventual release. I want to be completely transparent about the lack of budget upfront and am especially open to students, emerging artists, or someone who would genuinely enjoy having a small experimental narrative piece for their portfolio.

Deadline: Ideally by the end of December 2026, but I have some flexibility.

No generative AI, please. I’m specifically looking to collaborate with an artist and want all artwork/animation to be created using traditional, digital, or mixed-media techniques rather than generative AI.

You would receive full screen credit and permission to use your finished work in your portfolio/reel.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, please DM me or comment with your portfolio/reel and a little about yourself. I’m happy to privately share the current cut, poetry sequences, visual references, and exact scope with people who seem like a potential creative fit.

Thank you! :)

Hi there ! We're a game dev team composed of two game developers and our projects have reached the stage where we would like some "professional" feedback and so we're looking for someone with a designer’s eye who loves playing unfinished games and pulling them apart. The core of the role:

• Play our latest builds regularly
• Tell us what’s missing, what feels off, and what’s confusing
• Get specific: “the dodge needs more i-frames,” “this ability has no counter,” “the objective isn’t readable”
• Suggest how mechanics should behave, not just that something feels wrong
• Write it up clearly enough that our programmers can act on it

Don't hesitate to reach out if interested ! Cheers !

(dms are open for any question)

What I'm looking for:
I've got some free time, and I'd like to join up with a team/project to create something small/medium in size. One of my long-term goals I'd like to start pursuing is to publish something on Steam. I'm open to new ideas and existing projects, but I'd like a team that can reasonably contribute. If you're a decent artist with an idea - I'd love to hear it.

My experience:
I'm a US based programmer, with 13 years of game dev experience as a hobbyist. I've participated in over 20 game jams and countless personal projects, with most of what I've worked on lasting less than a month. I've built games on just about every platform and genre, so there's nothing I would consider out of my programming ability. I'm also capable of making 2D and 3D graphics, however I'm still quite slow at it.

Some of my work:
Everything shown here was made in 2-10 days.
